Fingerprint Door Locks

Imagine this. You get home from shopping and you have groceries in hand when you reach your door. Instead of using a key to let yourself in, you simply put your thumb on the scanner and your door pops open. Sure, it makes your life easier, but that isn't even the most important effect of fingerprint door locks. With a fingerprint door lock, you have an ultra-modern looking doorknob that will remind you of a government agency every time you step through the door. Instead of a mundane living room, or a boring mud room, you might be stepping in to a top secret laboratory! These door knobs offer a lot of extra functionality while making you look really cool at the same time.

Benefits

These cool home gadgets have many benefits, besides home protection. Say you have to get a house sitter for a week. If it isn't someone you want to have a set of keys permanently, all you would have to do is scan their fingerprint in to the memory, and you can give them temporary access to your home. When you get back from vacation you can disable that access like they never had it and you won't have to worry about them making a copy of your keys. If you have children and you want to lock the doors while they are at school, but you don't want to trust them with a key, just scan their prints in to the system and they will never need a key again. They just make it easier for you and your family to get inside your house without making it any easier for criminals to do so.

What to Look For

When looking for a new fingerprint door lock you should look to see if it also has a keypad. If for any reason your fingerprint scanner stops working you will still be able to put the code in without having to carry around your key. You should also look to see how many fingerprints can be stored in the device. Normally they hold more fingerprints than you would ever really need, but it never hurts to check. A typical fingerprint door lock has the ability to hold dozens and in many cases over a hundred. Look at what powers the doorknob and how long it will last. Does it take AA's AAA's or maybe it has a built in battery. Consider the different options and think about what would work best for you.
